Tuesday’s Activity, 4 New Potential Targets

Tuesday’s Movers:

We finished out 2024 in solid fashion, with two out of the three possible plays we were tracking in our premarket report putting up some pretty good gains. This holiday season has definitely been a challenge, and we didn’t see a Santa Claus rally this year, but we fully expect things to pick back up around here in a big way starting on Tuesday, when we’ll be into some big name earnings reports once again.

As for Tuesday’s half day, here were the figures from the two runners on our options watchlist, the SPY 12/31 $589-590 Calls, and the RL Weekly 01/17 $230-240 Calls:

Recapping Tuesday’s Activity, Fresh Options Ideas

Tuesday Review:

We got things back on track in Tuesday morning’s premarket report, which contained a slate of three potential options plays for consideration, and we saw some pretty good intraday upswings in those targets. Although things have been a little on the quiet side without any major earnings reports hitting the wires, we can expect to see things pick up on that front in short order.

Our daily interests for yesterday consisted of the NVDA Weekly $129-130 Calls, the SPY 10/08 $568-569 Calls, and the PEP Weekly $167.50 Puts. Here were the biggest intraday runs they recorded for Tuesday’s session:

Options Updates, 5 New Ideas

Various Options Recaps:

We fared reasonably well with regard to options yesterday. In out premarket report, both of the short term plays we signaled interest in produced sizable intraday runs. Those were the DPZ Weekly $387.50-392.50 Calls, and the SPY 07/24 $452-453 Calls. We had another idea with an August expiration that didn’t produce instant results. However, a set of August calls in another chain that we’ve been tracking since our report a few Mondays ago on the 10th, the PLCE 08/18 $25 Calls, have gone on to hit new highs.

The gains for the DPZ and SPY Calls below are obviously from yesterday’s session only, while the figures for the PLCE Calls represent their increase over the past two weeks.

DPZ Weekly $387.50-392.50 Calls
$387.50: 4.51-10.41 (+131%)
$390: 3.29-9.09 (+176%)
$392.50: 3.11-7.11 (+121%)

SPY 07/24 $452-453 Calls
$452: 1.26-3.00 (+138%)
